I have a 2018 Can Am XT Defender HD10. Im researching different options on available mirrors that install with a windshield and would like input on what others have done and how they like the mirrors they have chosen.

I installed it upside down though so it would sit tight to the roof.

Im looking for exterior mirrors that fit on the outside of both driver and passenger sides.

Seizmik are great I don’t have them personally but my buddies do and they love them a little pricey but they will replace them if you destroy them somehow!

FYI 2019 Defender XT HD 10 Cab lift and 30" tires

I actually liked the looks of the dragon fires but its hard when you can not compare them side by side. The BRP makes nice stuff. I may just go ahead and get one now and one later due the cost. I dont have a headache but I did build a dog kennel.

On the exterior I adapted a set of cheap mirrors intended for a Club Car golf cart, since the universal mirrors don't seem to fit. $99 each for factory side mirrors is a bit much. I whish the aftermarket would offer something designed for the defender at a better price, but there are none that I could find.

Lighter duty but guaranteed for life and a perfect fit. Edited September 16, 2019 by Outlaw
